Disclaimer: I own none of these characters, blah, blah, blah. A/N: As you
can see, I'm trying to fix the spacing. I have been trying to update for
the past week or so, but there is something wrong with the computer and it
refuses to post. So I'm hoping that it actually worked this time.
Chapter III: The "Relationship"
Sirius nervously smoothed the front of his robes. And turned to James, who was sitting morosely by the fireplace. "Prongs, mate, I'm sorry about all this. Please don't be mad."
"I'm not mad. Have a good time with Evans. I might be walking to Hogsmeade later with Moony." His voice was odd, and detached. James slunk sulkily into the dormitory.
Sirius sighed. He wished that he had never even talked to Lily, much less joke around with her. James had been like this for a week. He had told Remus that he planned to play only one more Quidditch match. Coincedently, it was versus Ravenclaw.
Padfoot climbed through the portrait hole and slid down several banisters on his way to the Great Hall. Filch was at the door way, checking permits. From his superior height, Sirius surveyed the hall. Lily's read hair stood out like a sore thumb. Filch checked their certification and waved them through grumpily.
Snow landed softly on Lily's hair as they walked through the Hogsmeade streets. Sirius was grumpy. He couldn't decide what do. Should he grab Lily's hand as it dangled by his side., or just leave it? He thought back to the common room, and James. He would grab Lily's hand without hesitation if it were him. He gritted his teeth. Be brave, Black. Think calmly. Just a date. Just a date.
He grabbed her hand, but even as he did, he saw James ahead of them. He let go of Lily's hand quickly, as if he had been caught eating cookies just before supper, or picked up a red-hot coal.
"Uh, hey James. Want to. uh, join us?"
Lily sighed. I know I would rather be with James than Sirius, but asking a someone your date supposedly hates to walk around with you is not something that you do!
"No thanks. Have a good time. Bye." But his eyes spoke a thousand words. They said: I wish that I was Sirius right now. I can't believe that she could act this way, fawning all over him, right in front of me, when she knows I love her. She knows that, but she doesn't understand that I would do anything to be with her, but she keeps turning up at the wrong time! I haven't picked on Snape in months.
Sirius and Lily walked on. They turned the corner and entered the Three Broomsticks. Sirius paid for two Butterbeers and they sat down in a booth. Everbody was staring at them. Sirius started to wonder what he had done.
Do I have spinach in my teeth or what? This is surreal. Everybody is staring at me, I'm with the girl my best friend loves, and I think that I have spinach between my teeth. Too weird.
Lily however, did not find it surreal. She found it annoying, but decided to ignore them. She tried to make conversation to Sirius about the weather, and Quidditch.
"So, Sirius, did you try out for Keeper earlier this year? I heard that you did"
"I didn't. I'm trying for Chaser next year though."
"Umm, it's nice out, isn't it?"
"Yeah, real nice."
"Did you finish that really hard Herbology essay?"
"Yeah."
"Uh, well, I have to go back to the common room and finish it. Bye."
Lily knew that that was a very rude way to leave, but she could not stand talking to a log anymore. Stepping out into the sunlight, she hightailed it back to the castle.
Back in the Three Broomsticks, Sirius paid for the Butterbeer and left. I swear, I will never understand girls. I thought I was doing okay.
The door of Zonko's opened and Amanda Lewis stepped out.
"Hi Amanda. It's me, Sirius." We've talked before. I hope she'll remember me. She's a cutie.
"Hi Sirius. I remember you. How could I forget that handsome face. We're you here with someone?"
Sirius sighed happily. Oh, yeah. I'm handsome. Play it smooth , Sirius, smooth.
"Uhh, yeah, but she left. Wanna walk with me back to the castle?"
"Sure." Sigh. He's a bad boy.
A/N: Okay, I hope that you liked this chapter. I made Sirius extra goofy. I hope that the spacing has improved. I would like to thank every body that has reviewed, but especially Elwood Penscottie, because she reviewed first and made me feel special! Also thanks to: Angel 350, Draco's Special Girl, Spark1, clueless, purplee.(something about elephants), Bridgette and Brooke Kenobi. Buye the way, Brooke I have read some of your fics and they are really good! Bye, Lilac/Steph
